Electric Trunk Hatch Not Working, No Key...

ok here is the issue. I switched to 4th gen interior and now my trunk wont pop, i am replacing the whole interior plus the hatch area so i need to get the trunk open. I don't have the key for the trunk, but the electric hatch always popped. I SWITCHED to 4th gen interior so all wiring is re-wired. I THOUGHT i had the right wires orange, black/white wires but all i get is a buzzing noise coming from the passenger side area. So obviously i messed up, so i traced wires to the trunk.

I took apart all the sail panels and everything from the rear and see wires coming from behind the plastic piece covering the motor n stuff, there is orange(i see orange/white for a light in the middle), black, red/white, yellow, and a couple i tried all of them with the black wire and still no pop.

Someone help i need my trunk open how can i get it open!

sounds like the buzzing is a bad relay.
if you tap it a few times fast, most of the time it will pop.
if not, run some wires to an area past the relay and just tap the wires on a battery.
its gotta pop then.
